The card arrived today. It is machine-cut, measuring exactly 1.5" across and 2.25" tall. Blank back and thick cardboard. Similar to a Mayo in thickness. I thought it was a half-tone print but under magnification it is photo-engraved, which indicates it was created some time around the turn of the 20th century. Makes sense since McGovern's career ended in 1908.

I saw this card on eBay when it came up and was interested in what it was. Do you have a photo of the Fitzsimmons you mentioned earlier by chance? I’ve never seen anything from whatever this set was before

Picked this up after it was graded. It ended up a PSA 5.5. Looked 6ish to me, but I'm happy with it.

Not my wheelhouse but anything this old is worth the pickup... Anyone familiar with these and how rare (or not) they may be?

Thanks!

I cover all the Exhibit cards in my book. The 1922 set is tougher than 1921, easier than 1923.

Cool thanks! Will have to order that!

This just came in the mail. No idea who they are, but what a cool image. From 1904.

Looks like a higher grade set - all in at $205. I've always liked this deck; interest has certainly waned.
